this looks like a good novel. personally it sounds like I would prefer the McClellan translation. I'd definitely support having it in the line up for the regular Castalia subscription. Look forward to reading it! Thank you Vox and take care and God bless!
I would love to see Castalia tackle this title. But since leather binding seems more appropriate for Western books maybe a Japanese inspired binding might be considered. Searching the web, I see there's quite a range of Japanese papers suitable for book binding, including some beautiful Japanese bookcloth that might be utilized with your standard cloth-cover binding techniques. Perhaps an appropriate Ukiyo-e image could be printed on that cloth cover. Add some Japanese end papers and other detailing, mindful of the budget of course, and you could cook up a striking and tasty Japanese dish to adorn Kokoro, while extending Castalia's stylistic range.
It's not so much that I have an interest in Japanese literature particularly, but books that Castalia recommends bear extra consideration. Your discussion of this translation in particular has served as a wildly successful advertisement to this customer! Honestly, I'm probably most interested in a paperback, but I'm liable to buy a hardcover to give you guys a fatter cut. That said, I don't even know that my reasoning here regarding your profit is accurate.
